A year ago, a new friend told me about the book The Empath’s Survival Guide by Judith Orloff, MD.I glanced at the book at the
time but was too busy to dig into it.Fast forward a year, after having spent it all in heavy duty yoga teacher training, and I was in much need of some me time, self-introspection, soul renewal
and personal in-depth growth.Something
I saw or read a few weeks ago triggered my memory of the book, and I was ready
to delve deeper.

I chuckled at myself taking the questionnaire in the book because
I already knew the answer.But of
course, it doesn’t hurt to confirm it with a questionnaire, right?!

Yes, the questionnaire shows me as a full blown introverted empath.

I’m not sure at what point in my life I was able to put the
word “empath” to my emotional and relational characteristics.It’s only been in the past 3-4 years that I
have understood the power (pleasant and unpleasant) this personal characteristic
has had over me, my life, and my well-being.

In being with faced with heart-pounding moments hanging between life
or death and the sacrifices that come with those moments, we are given
the perfect opportunity to starkly realize that our human similarities
are way more important than our differences. In life or death
moments, we are faced with the blunt truth that the color of our skin,
the language of our words, the things we hold true or false, the God we
worship or don't, and the way we regularly live day to day absolutely
matter not one iota under the desire of staying alive or being
swallowed up by death. Therefore, those differences should not matter
even more so in light of the gift of life that we are given today.We are given the gift of today that we may make our own and someone
else's life a little better and brighter. Be kind, always.
